Shipping head (75 miles) - UPS, Fedex, or USPS?
#9
USPS is a bitch when it comes to weight.
UPS will ship almost anything, but will almost ALWAYS **** it up.
FedEx has problems delivering to the right addresses.
I just shipped my brothers guitar that I sold on ebay for $3609 via FedEx and insured for $4000. I packed the **** out of this thing, but then again I always do. I just didn't want to take the chance with UPS. I have no faith in UPS when it comes to handling.
However, I'm on my way out now to drop off this MGB bumper I just packed up to ship via UPS. Hard to beat a $27 price tag on a 65"x12"x7" (21lb) package. But I packed this thing like it was a live baby. UPS will almost always drop, throw, or stomp your ****....so keep that in mind if you choose them.

The harddrive died in my computer about a month ago. I called HP at 5:30pm, they set up the order to send out recovery disks and a replacement harddrive so I could swap it myself. At 7:32am the next day my doorbell rang and woke me up. By the time I got to the door there were my recovery disks and harddrive sitting at the doorstep as the FedEx man drove off. I still can't figure out how that was even possible.

You know IF we had an Autobahn system, I WOULD drive there, because driving at 120-130 mph is actually FUN, and it would take me 40 minutes each way.
Given that the USA has an antiquated hiway system with constant harassment by Speed *****, and I would have to slog along at 75 mph til my eyes glaze over. No thanks, I'd rather pack it and pay UPS.
P.S. it really IS fun driving on the autobahn when traffic is light.
